Jason Giambi had a grand slam and two run double to finish the game with six rbi’s to lead the Yankees at the plate.  Alex Rodriguez had a three run home run as he finished the game with three rbi.  Jorge Posada was right behind A-rod as he had two rbi.  Johnny Damon and two rbi, Robinson Cano, and WIlson Betemit, and Bobby Abreu all contributed with one rbi of their own.

Sidney Ponson struggled in his first start with the Yankees.  He only lasted five innings and gave up nine hits and seven early runs.  The Rangers hit two home runs off of Ponson who will really need to turn things around if he wants to stay in the rotation.

Edwar Ramirez pitched the sixth and seventh innings without giving up a run and then Kyle Farnsworth pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the Yankees.  LaTroy Hawkins pitched the ninth inning for the Yankees as he finished off the Rangers.

The Yankees will now play the Red Sox for four games this weekend.  The series is always a huge one between the fans I expect this one to be the same way.

Pettitte pitched 6.2 innings and only gave up the one earned run and five hits.  It was a good performance by Pettitte and the Yankees really needed him to step up.

Melky Cabrera and Alex Rodriguez both hit two-run home runs to pace the Yankees offense with two RBI each.  Jorge Posada accounted for one RBI as well.

With the win, the Yankees record now stands at 5-5.

On Saturday, Andy Pettitte got rocked pretty much all game long as the Rays hit him often, and hit him hard.  Pettitte took the lose for the Yankees and is 0-1 on the short season.

Atleast Alex Rodriguez hit a RBI double I guess.  That and Jorge Posada’s two RBI single in the 8th inning was about all the excitment the Yankees had.
